Abdul the insane says "HOW DARE YOU ABDUL WILL PUT YOUR HEAD ON A PIKE" - While walking in circles on his boat full of dead soldiers

If you are after the staff in his ships hold just wait until he goes onto the top deck next to the ships wheel & they you can safely run down to the hold

He's immune to fear too. So warlocks beware!

Hits for about 600 (main hand) on 10k armor. Soloed him with ease as a 71 elemental shaman with 908 spell damage and 27.08% crit. Earth elemental helped a bit, but ultimately wasn't really necessary. Only "tricky" thing is his relatively high HP.

Soloed with ease as a leve 71 21/41 Demonology/Affliction lock. Send in felguard, DoT up and use health funnel as needed. Only other thing too watch is not to overaggro your pet. It takes a while and he drops nothing special, so it's just for your own personal satisfaction:-)

Seeing this it seems to me this could be a reference to Abdul Alhazred "The Mad Arab" from the H. P. Lovecraft Cthulhu mythos and the supposed writer of the Necronomicon given the name of the Arcanomicon that is used by Malygos and serves a vaguely similar purpose as the Necronomicon.

If you agroed him and jumped off the ship at the water side. Beware he chases you until you reach the ghost at the island before resetting. Dont suffer like i did.

Meele is very little effective on him, pretty easy to kill as a caster though. Hits for 700-900 on 5k armor.

soloed as a 70 elite feral druid in mostly merc/brutal gear with merc wep, was didnt hit very hard while in bear form so easy to heal through, but the fact that he has a retardly high amount of health made the fight take a while.

Need the staff from the ship, and don't have Prowl/Stealth?

Watch his pattern. He goes around the top of the ship until he's on the upper level. That's when you dash downstairs and loot the staff. Have a friend watching from afar (With Eagle Eye/Far Sight or not) or a stealthed buddy on the ship tell you when he's walking up the stairs so that you can run out without agroing him.

Just soloed him at a level 70 Death Knight. Had to wear my tanking gear and stay in frost presence to do it. I was able to keep myself up just fine he just has an insane amount of HP so the fight took a good 2-3 minutes lol.

Xidash의 댓글

His chase speed is a little slower than most other mobs, so you can kite him somewhat. If you have dots, stick them on him and kite up and down the stairs on the ship, jumping off the second deck so he has to chase you around.

Eggerz의 댓글

He's immune to slow, as well. As a 74 frost mage, I thought I'd have no problem and I was way wrong. He was hitting me for about 1.3k or so and there wasn't much I could do in terms of kiting.

Variatas의 댓글

Soloed him with marginal difficulty as a 73 Beast Mastery hunter, mix of BC 10-man raid and badge gear. My gorilla was down to about 20% even with full Blood of the Rhino, Spirit Bond, and Improved mend, and popping Last Stand.

Looted 45s, probably didn't even cover my repair/arrow costs.

Kill him for a challenge, but the loot isn't worth it, just standard trash mob drops.

If you're after the quest, just sneak past him when he's on the upper deck, as noted above.

Solo able as a 71 blood DK

OMG....i got him down to 20k hp where i was kiting him down with corruption, and using shadowfury when he got to close....sadly i couldnt life tap enough since i didnt have enough hp and died....sigh i think if i was afflic my dots could have killed him while kiting him

Edit: Got him down with the help of another warrior by switching aggro we owned him only dropped one frosweave cloth....oh well at least i got him back for killing me...hehe.

Dangnabitt의 댓글

I just fought him to see if i could. Lvl 73 ret pally, most of my gear is crap as i was holy pre expansion but i was using torch of the damned.

I was a little low on mana at the end, but the instant flash of light heals kept me up.I had another mob on me at the beginning that was killed of with divine storm eventually.

He has a good amount of health but he doesnt hit so hard, also he is stunned about with HoJ.

stjames의 댓글

Solo'd as a 72 DK. But beware he has 96k Hp...

Just gotta time your runes so death strike is available when you want it and both diseases are up when you use it. Helps if you have Rune tap, and maybe a potion.

Oh by the way, there's no point whatsoever fighting him since he just drops regular trash loot. Not even a goddamn "this item begins a quest".

sriggle의 댓글

Solo'd without much of a problem as a 70 frost tank.

11.5k hp13.6k armor39% avoidance with blade barrier

I used the full cobalt tanking set with the axe of frozen, the rest of my gear was made up of outland quest rewards. I kept my diseases and blade barrier up the whole time, used all of my extra frost and unholy runes and death runes for death strike, most of my runic power was used for rune strikes. Unbreakable armor, Icebound fortitude and Lichborne whenever they were off cooldown, fight was nearly 3 minutes.

lsyoung의 댓글

Soloed him with my shadow priest at 70, mix of T5/T6 gear.

Taking this guy down can be a nice challenge, unlike just about most all of the other world elites in the expansion. I fought him point blank because I couldn't find a good kiting route with all the chain spawns right after release. He hits Hard on cloth: I precast PW:S to run out the first weakened soul, dispersion during the second, health pot during the third. VE regen couldn't keep up with this guy at all, he dropped when I was at ~5% health.

It was fun to take this guy down after watching him smack around some alliance groups who were probably following questhelper up onto the ship without paying attention.

Flema의 댓글

Easy solo as a 73 Unholy dk, ended with full health.

Used Gargoyle, rune trap and bone shield no need of ibf.

Just keep diseases up, comon rotation with death strike.

AMIB의 댓글

While the quest does not require you to kill him, any class that can deal with his rather anemic melee damage long enough to grind through his 96K HP can solo him easily, if not quickly. This will mean most tanking and healing specs, as well as any pet-using or self-healing DPS class.

He can be stunned but cannot be feared, snared, incapacitated (sap, gouge, repent), or rooted.

With this in mind, please take the "Soloed him as 54 mage with no talent point spent!" posts to Thottbot, where they belong.

gpdoyon의 댓글

I got SMOKED by him as I walked up the plank and on to the ships deck without paying attention. I vowed vengeance! I resurrected, ate some Grilled Sculpin then drank a Flask of Relentless Assault and took him down fairly easily. Oh, I am a Blood specced Death Knight. As the previous poster stated, be sure to keep your diseases on him.

MintyPhoenix의 댓글

I didn't realize he had 96.1k health, otherwise I would have thrown Frost Presence up. Solo'd him as a 72 Blood DK with quest blues no problem, just kept up on Death Strike / Rune Tap with Vampiric Blood and Mark of Blood. Definitely not hard if you've got decent armor and some healing.

Ryxis의 댓글

as has been said, hes stunnable, whats not been said is that he is immune to incapacitates (as well as the other things hes immune against) so you can't sap, gouge, repentance, or any other incapacitates

I solo'ed as a lvl72 ret pally in quest greens with only my own buffs (BoM, ret aura, SoCo). Used bubble and LoH.

WHLabrador의 댓글

Elemental Shamans: If you're killing this guy, just hit water walking, then rotate shocks and run in ghost wolf around on the water. Easy, but long kill.

Vandett의 댓글

As a holy pally, I didn't know there for an elite on the ship. So I ran on the ship with 2 mobs on me and I was at half hp and half mana, and i aggroed him. So i ran off the ship and unaggroed both the mobs, but not him! I attacked him and got him to 48% hp then aggroed a whale and died. He's not that hard, but he has a $%^& load of hp and hits hard. if i started with more than half mana and never aggroed the whale i prob woulda been able to kill him, but it woulda been long.

zmarine44의 댓글

Easily soloed as a 71 Enhancement Shaman. Used Spirit Wolves, stun and their tanking helped. No other pets needed, just healed whenever Maelstrom stacked 5 times and blew BL after my wolves died just to be safe. I did need to use Shamanistic Rage though, went oom when he was at about 35-40%

xevbe의 댓글

For warlocks, this is the type of mob to bring out ol' blueberry.Hits the VW for about 350ish, so just dots and heal the pet when needed.

However, as stated above, you can just wait for him to run away then walk into the boat. Killing him gives no reward, and takes about a minute or 2, due to his high HP

fleps의 댓글

I think he is bugged atm. Tried to kill him twice, but after the first attack, he becomes "invalid target" for me and I cannot attack him. Just jumped on the water to not die.

FangotehMango의 댓글

he must be bugged to some extent. I aggrod him on the way off of the ship, and he chased me all the way to the Tuskar village. He then left me alone, and killed the guards who decided to try and stop him.

This guy is off the chain

Rather hard to defeat as a rogue but I did it. My trick was to be on the quest where you get the horn to summon a kalu'ak guardian. It doesn't do much damage or take many hits but it does have a use! I was mutilate as well so I had but one evasion, yet increased DPS.

Start off by luring a pirate to the top of the ramp (if undead) and kill him there. Begin the fight with cheapshot, disarming and using whatever + AP or whatever bladefistesque trinket you have followed by evasion. Keep up slice and dice as you would any other long-lived boss. Summon your kalu'ak and and fight. Spam your kidney shot whenever possible.

When your health gets low vanish and bandage, then eat the pirate corpse you lured with cannabalize. You should be about full HP now, and by the time you get back to him your Kalu'ak will be skittering about and ready to die.

Continue the fight and lure him up to the wheel of the ship. When low on health jump off the boat and bandage - he won't reset from this as with when you vanished him onto the Kalu'ak., and lure him back up to the wheel of the ship continuing the fight. Use your disarm again and if you must, try using your sprint to dash away from him just to keep the fight longer incase you need to jump overboard and bandage again.

Eventually he will die.It's unfortunate that rogue are usually the absolute worst for taking out tough guys solo, but there is often some really cheap way to handle things.

satelitko의 댓글

Just switched to the browser while on the deck of the ship to read about him (because i soloed him way too easy with a 71 blood dk), and just when i read the comments about his short respawn time i went "OH SHI~ *alttab*" and was dead on the deck... So i can too say, that he has an insanely short respawn time. Also, why is it so easy to take on an elite 1-2 levels above your own with a blood dk?

If you are a Mage, use your Invisibility as soon as he's near the top of the ship. Run like hell to the bottom of the ship. Invisibility will release shortly before you get to the staff.

Grab the staff and then use your Mana Shield until you get near the top of the steps. You'll see yourself drawing a tiny bit of aggro once he's at the top of the ship again. Use Invisibility when you can (yes, be patient... it has a 3 min cooldown) and then run like hell. If you aggro him, just jump off the ship into the water (on the side away from the guards).

I swam all the way to the other shore. It only took me a minute, and I was able to use the Westwind Lift (near the Ancient Lift, where you turn the quest in). Perfect! ;)

I'm a level 70 squishy mage. No way in hell would I do this without Invisibility and/or a Level 80 tank friend.

It was quite hard for me as i lvl 71 enhancement shama to solo him. I had to use my Earth elemental, my Feral spirit, my Shamanistic rage, Both my trinkets, berserking(im a troll) and bloodlust. I also had to heal myself several times.

Low DKs (70 or below) look at this page if you want to solo him (in French but just get the spec).I tried as unholy as a level 70 Dk and got him to 50% then jumped over the ship to run as I was about to die (run far he folows a bit but then gives up)Using the spec of the above link (mainly blood) I easily killed him with green and blue gear. It is a bit long but his damage is indeed not big on plate if you can regenerate health.

Gandazar의 댓글

I really don't understand Blizzard's idea with making these characters that a) run faster than you, b) have relatively high melee damage and (this is the important bit) c) are immune to most spells. Can't be frozen, can't be slowed, can't be feared, can't even be bounced away by blast wave.

Basically he is a piece of cake for any melee class at his level but almost impossible to solo for casters, as are so many other NPCs. Comparatively, how many mobs / NPCs are immune to melee weapons?

Sure, anyone can do this quest simply by avoiding him, but the logic behind making a levelling quest much harder for a specific class (or group of classes) eludes me.

Is it any wonder that there's huge a lack of mages and priests at higher levels, when it's so much easier to level a warrior, paladin or DK...?

For the record, I play both caster and melee classes.

Soloed as 70 ret paladin in green gear, bubbled once but it wasnt really needed, ended fight with 50% hp/mana.

Vlad의 댓글

Soloable for a mage with Ice Barrier and Fingers of Frost + Deep Freeze when you can. The pet is mandatory to give you dps help as you will mainly be running and kiting around.

A smart "rotation" is to use the ship, jump off when he gets close and kite a bit then blink past him and run back up the ramp and so on. He will give you some seconds while walking up/down the ramp. ;)

Or just choose the right mix of toons and Abdul is not a problem. Lvl 73 DK and lvl 71 shaman took care of him quite handily...twice. :-)

Problem is: you can defeat him when entering the ship, but his respawn timer is so short, you probably gonna fight him again on the way out. Although the challenge was kinda refreshing, fighting him a second time really annoyed me. "I AM STRONG AS A BULL!" he yelled as I dodged his attacks. Well, we'll see about that, Abdul. A 'Matador' title would be fitting here.

I ran into him by mistake when trying to get the staff. Managed to take him down with my lvl 71 enhancement shammy. That means he's not that hard, since I sorta suck ;-)

Anyway, he respawns quickly, so if you kill him, get the staff as fast as you can and get off the ship if you don't want to run into him again. I jumped into the water when I aggroed him after he had respawned, and he didn't follow. Just stood on top of a cannon staring at me disappearing over the sea.

Took him down as a 71 shadow priest on the second go, dotted him up and nuked as hard as I could to pull the most healing out of Imp. Vamp Embrace. When I started geting low on health I reapplied dots and Dispersed, rand up to the top of the ship and next to a ledge, from there I continued dps until I got low again, I jumped down the ledge and out of shadow form, threw a quick flash heal + renew and finished him off.

His name is Abdul, and he's strong as bull! :D

This mob has a spawn time of ~30 seconds and is a 72 elite. There are no other mobs on this boat and I have looted a maple chest off of it below deck. I went looking for but after an hour and a half it has not fallen.

This dude respawns right after he's killed if you are out of combat off the boat. He drops a decent amount of greens and about 50silver a kill averaging out to like 5 gold a minute.
